As far as the show, it is reality TV edited by non prospectors. I find it funny most here are of the same frame of mind I was, before going to Greenland. Many questions and curiosities. Remember this though, 50+ days cannot be fully covered in less than 6 one hour shows!

I enjoyed the show, but understand what you mean about the editors. IT seemed to be mostly shots of guys walking or talking, and very little prospecting. I also had the feeling that the crew was assembled by the TV production company, for the very reasons stated earlier. Why did there need to be a driller and excavator?

I really wish they would have made this about the real prospecting trip that it was instead the "race to find gold"! Prospecting is about lots of walking, lots of explorations, test pans, and analysis.

Still, I hope everyone enjoyed the show.

Jack,

I enjoyed the show very much and as a scouting expedition to unfamiliar territory with inclement weather I suppose it came off as well as could be expected and with no casualties.

It's easy to criticize from the comfort of home and with the advantage of the hindsight provided by watching the outcome of every decision made in the field.

I'm sure you would do things differently next time but the unknowns are what makes an adventure that much more exhilarating. I never talk much about my adventures, most wouldn't believe them anyway, but the memories are treasures all their own even if the treasure being sought is never found.

Jason,
Here is a reality show based on a Race for Gold that is in the works, A quarter million dollar prize to the winning team........ The Race For Gold

Not sure who it came from but I always say: "It's better to sit on my porch with MEMORIES than DREAMS".

And I have been blessed with many memories most will never know like mining in Alaska, California, New Hampshire, Maine, Quebec and now Greenland. And I may be heading to Argentina next winter to help set up and run a gold mining & guiding concession this winter!

Everywhere I have been I find that people, good or bad, are the true treasure.
